SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Henckels Spectrum 8" Bread Knife is built to handle the kind of kitchen work that demands strength, precision, and control. Whether you're slicing through a thick, crusty sourdough or delicate heirloom tomatoes, this knife delivers clean cuts with minimal effort. The long, serrated blade powers through tough exteriors without crushing soft interiors, making it a go-to tool for both baking days and everyday prep.
At 8 inches long with a total length of 12.99 inches, the blade gives you the reach and balance needed to tackle full loaves and thick-rind fruits with ease. Forged from a single piece of high-carbon stainless steel using Henckels’ SIGMAFORGE process, the Spectrum Bread Knife offers outstanding durability and edge retention. The blade is also ice-hardened through the FRIODUR process, giving it increased hardness, corrosion resistance, and the ability to stay sharper, longer.
A precision-honed 25° cutting angle ensures this knife delivers smooth, consistent slicing performance without tearing or sawing. The curved bolster is engineered to act as an extension of your hand, improving safety and precision while giving you a more comfortable, natural grip during extended use.
The handle is crafted from jute micarta, a tough, moisture-resistant material that offers excellent grip even when wet. It’s ergonomically shaped and features a triple-rivet design for added strength and control. A stainless-steel endcap adds balance and a polished look, with the ZWILLING logo lasered into the center rivet—subtle but bold. The knife weighs in at 7.36 ounces, offering a solid feel in hand without being bulky or unwieldy.
Built in Germany and made with a 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions during steel production, the Spectrum Bread Knife is as responsible as it is capable. Whether you're slicing, prepping, or plating, it’s a tool you’ll reach for every time precision matters. Order it today from SMKW!
